LLY: Black smoke

yes it is a factory air cleaner exhaust is a new (1 week) system 4" diamond eye with flo pro muffler
Check the driver side boost tube by the power steering pump, common rub through point. Low boost will blow black.
Depending on what tune you run on the Edge, that might be the cause of your smoke.
Before I got EFILive, I had an Edge, and anything but level 1 would smoke more than I liked.

I will check those items. I have the edge on 1. It seems to smoke alot under acceleration. Which I would understand except that I am not running a high hp tune. I suspect tat I have other issues at work here but do not know where to start so the intercooler and boost tubes are a great start Thanks
Keep us updated the edge would also be my first guess when was the last time you replaced the engine air intake filter and fuel filter also is the exhaust a straight pipe system if so and you were running the edge prior the cat would clean most of it up but if it's straight now you'll notice a little more smoke due to the fact the cat isn't there to clean up anymore
Ok I believe that I am going to have to replace the tube on the drivers side while I can not detect any leakc there is an decent amount of corrosion. As a side note as you would expect most smoke is during hard acceleration I do however get a bit more smoke than I like when its under load I typically dont run more than a 2 on that edge. just to clarify new 4" exhaust no cat and a flo pro muffler I am very happy with. The wife didnt notice the new exhaust hehehe. But I did both in tone and driveability
Sorry been a while but put edge to stock no more smoke. Do the EFI Live tunes afford the extra power without the smoke?
It completely depends on who's tuning. Longhorns is some of the dirtiest tuning out there. But Kory Willis and nick from DuramaxTuner strives to write the cleanest.
